Hearthstone Battlegrounds Patch 18.4.2

This patch is tuned essentially toward adjusting the Battlegrounds mode. It will bring multiple changes to both high and low-tier minions and heroes. The patch has one new hero and a rework to two minions, Zoobot and Menagerie Magician. Hearthstone shook up its Battlegrounds mode something fierce with the addition of Elementals. Minions have been hitting triple-digit stats regularly, and Blizzard has determined that things have gotten a bit out of control. With that said, they've pulled out the nerf bat from the nerf broom closet and decided to whack a few heroes like Ragnaros and Maiev with the upcoming 18.4.2 patch. And your Pogo Hopper builds? Those are no more.
